I agree with Roger. By focusing only on addressing customer problems while keeping an eye on the competition ignores the leadership aspect of product management. In the same way product management must optimize potential problems, they must provide sufficient evidence to optimize the internal performance. It’s a big job, but the rewards are infinite! This is a big reason why I believe revenue is the ultimate measure of success.

Ken, I like the continued brainstorm on product management metrics. One factor to consider with your proposed metrics is that they still don’t address the problem of the dependency on other parts of the organization. In other words, sales, marcom, etc. can torpedo these two measures at no fault of product management.

In contrast to how Saeed defines product management’s mandate, Steve Johnson defines strategic product management’s mandate as follows:

“The strategic role of product management is to be messenger of the market, delivering information to the departments that need market facts to make decisions.”

To evaluate the extent to which product management is achieving this mandate, we need to measure how well product management is delivering information to other departments.

I proposed one way of doing so .
